Looking for best suv for hunting, all wheel drive or 4wd, that gets good mileage.

I used to think 4 runners but have not keep up with new suv's that's been available.

Best for outdoor stuff is always a truck. From my small Isuzu trooper to my Ford excursion no suv is close to a truck. I made them work but I have also used cars when it's what I had. Yep had deer on the hood of a 85 chevet, trunk of 98 Honda accord and back seat of Ford prob.

baskets that go in the recever hitch do make suv more versatile. And sometimes you need them for the room for the family and car seats.

most anything that gets good gas mileage doesn't do great off road

it is really going to depend a lot on how off road you need to get

lots of things will do gravel roads and a bit of mud , so it really depends on where you need to go.

so public hunting grounds parking lots , gravel and grass a Subaru forester would get you the best mileage

my brother claims his 2021 f150 is getting 23 highway

the Explorer claims 27


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Used Toyota FJ Cruiser. Fuel mileage isn't great though. If you're going new maybe a Bronco or a 4Runner.

It's hard to beat a Toyota for that. But a diesel excursion is like a moving camp
